Teared up at this one. Heartwarming tales from public transportation always get me. Sending love to you, Roya. No doubt you will do incredible things in London. New York misses you already 💕

I am a Liverpool fan but I think Arsenal might become my 'home' team!

This immediately made me cry. Such a beautiful and thoughtful piece ❤️ I totally relate to that strange feeling of leaving the place our parents worked so hard to make home. What hit me later on was that I am now someone they have to say goodbye to as well, years after they said their first goodbyes.
